Photos: Will There Be Chicken On The Table Tonight?

Sanctions have made life for ordinary Iranian citizens increasingly difficult due to the steep hikes in the cost of living. Recently prices of basic food items have gone up drastically making it difficult for people to feed their families. The government has been selling some items like chicken at lower prices. Following photos show the people in Bandar Abbas, southern Iran, standing in long lines to buy chicken meat offered by the government. The story is the same in other cities across Iran.
